Leao clause, Osimhen's choice, Roma target Ferguson: transfer news 🤑

Yahoo5 hours ago
Summer is heating up, and so is the transfer market, with negotiations getting hotter by the day.
Below, as usual, is an overview of the most significant operations of the top teams.
Juve, goal to sell Vlahovic immediately
Juventus wants to sell Dusan Vlahovic this summer to avoid losing him for free in 2026. The Serbian, who has been demoted in the team's hierarchy and has a €12 million per year contract, wants to leave only in a year. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Comolli is seeking a compromise with Vlahovic's entourage, evaluating solutions such as a bridge contract or a discounted sale (€25-30 million).

Jonathan David has already arrived, but without Vlahovic's departure, there will be no funds to invest in Osimhen or Kolo Muani. Milan is watching, ready to take advantage of the situation at the end of the market if the price drops. Juventus does not intend to give Vlahovic away, but is evaluating every option to resolve a situation that is blocking the market.
Milan, €15 million to Lille in case of Leao's departure
Milan has renegotiated with Lille the clause on the future resale of Rafael Leao: the French club can receive up to €14.8 million, but only if the sale exceeds €51 million. Above €100 million, no payment is foreseen, as reported by La Verità.
The modification arrived in 2023, after Milan had paid over €20 million to settle the debt between Lille and Sporting Lisbon, related to the unilateral termination of the Portuguese player. The renewal was subject to the payment of the penalty by June 30.
Inter, Kokcu a hot name for midfield
Inter is evaluating Orkun Kokcu of Benfica as a possible replacement for Calhanoglu. The Turkish player, born in 2000, is also followed by Milan and Roma, but does not want to return to his homeland.

According to A Bola, Benfica values him at €40 million despite the €150 million clause. Inter is waiting for developments on Calhanoglu's future before making a move.
Napoli, Osimhen says no to Inzaghi: he wants Galatasaray
Victor Osimhen has said no to Al-Hilal and dreams of a return to Galatasaray, who is willing to offer him €16 million per year with the support of sponsors.
According to Corriere dello Sport, the obstacle remains the €75 million clause, which Napoli wants in full and immediately. If the situation does not unlock by mid-July, Osimhen will leave for the retreat with Conte.
Roma, idea Ferguson for the attack
Roma is evaluating Evan Ferguson of Brighton, also proposed to Atalanta. The Irish player, born in 2004, has seen his value drop to €25 million after a dull season.

The Giallorossi are reflecting on the opportunity to bet on a talent in search of a relaunch as vice Dovbyk. For Relevo, the negotiation is still in its initial phase.
Lazio, cuts to unlock the market
Lazio wants to reduce the wage bill to meet UEFA parameters and unlock the market from January. The priority is to place the surplus players by September 30.
As Il Corriere dello Sport explains, in the autumn, renewals will begin for those whose contracts expire in 2026. Sarri will decide who stays and who leaves, also aiming to retain the top players.
Fiorentina, Bernabé has said yes
Fiorentina is targeting Adrian Bernabé of Parma, who has already given his okay to the transfer. According to Il Corriere dello Sport, the Emilian club is asking for around €20 million.

The midfielder, born in 2001, is at the top of Pioli's list. La Viola wants to bring him to the retreat by mid-July, but the negotiation is complex.

Getting to Europe is cheaper this summer — but everything costs more when you're there

A last-minute summer flight to London or Rome costs less than it did a year ago, but the good news ends at the customs checkpoint. U.S. travelers to the U.K. and Europe are finding their dollars don't go as far as they did just months ago. Exchange rates haven't been kind to Americans abroad this year. The dollar index — which tracks the greenback against a handful of other major currencies — has plunged 10.3% so far this year, its worst half-year performance since 1973, largely due to President Donald Trump's ongoing global trade war. While some analysts expect a partial rebound later this month, €1 now buys only about $0.85 today, versus $0.93 a year ago. In Britain, £1 fetches some $0.73, about 6 cents less than in early July 2024. Some of the currency swings have been quite recent. A ticket to a London play that cost £100, or about $135, at the beginning of June would cost $137 now. A three-night Barcelona hotel bill of €850, about $965 a month ago, will set you back $1,002 today. Fortunately, cheaper airfares are cushioning the blow. Tickets to Europe and Asia are down 10% and 13%, respectively, since last year at this time and have returned to pre-pandemic pricing, according to the booking platform Hopper. And travel experts at recently found some of the lowest-ever deals for certain flights to Sydney, Rio de Janeiro and Dublin this fall. Many consumers appear to be taking advantage of bargain tickets. Even as international travelers pull back on visiting the U.S., Americans are venturing abroad. Travel volumes among U.S. citizens returning home at major airports' passport control were up about 2% over the 28 days through June 21 since the same period a year ago, according to Tourism Economics, a market research firm. While budget considerations are affecting who's deciding to vacation abroad and how to spend when they do, consumer finance experts and travel industry analysts say broader economic uncertainty is playing a bigger role. 'If you're going to cancel an international trip, it's not going to be because of the dollar,' said Greg McBride, chief financial analyst at Bankrate. 'It's going to be because you're worried about getting laid off, you're worried about geopolitical issues, or don't have the money saved up and the only way to pay for it is to put it on the credit card and finance it at 20% interest.' For any travelers with heartburn over the weaker dollar, McBride noted that it 'still compares pretty favorably to levels we saw in 2021, and it's still better than pretty much anytime between 2003 and 2014.' Indeed, Tourism Economics found travel spending by U.S. residents abroad rose 8.6% in the first four months of the year from the same period a year earlier. 'This indicates continued U.S. outbound demand,' the firm said. While the economy and household finances always influence travel demand, 'today those factors are looking to have more of a negative impact than positive one,' said Nicki Zink, deputy head of industry analysis at the market research firm Morning Consult. In the group's recent survey, 31% of consumers said both the state of the U.S. economy and personal financial pressures are reducing their interest in leisure travel in the next three months, 'higher than any other factor we survey about,' said Zink. For its own part, the tourism market research firm Future Partners found 47% of American travelers are likely to venture abroad in the next 12 months, but 35% said uncertainty around U.S. policy changes had already caused them to reconsider or delay those plans. And in a NerdWallet survey last month, 11% of consumers said they'd scrapped international travel plans this year over global relations or economic uncertainty. Plenty of Americans are still packing their passports, though. Millennials, for example, 'are increasingly considering international destinations, despite the higher cost compared with domestic trips,' said Zink, adding that interest in destinations across South and Central America, the Caribbean and northern Europe have risen this year. Wealthy travelers are also still traveling with gusto, extending a trend that has intensified since the recovery from the pandemic. 'Our affluent clients are still going after those bucket-list adventures and once-in-a-lifetime experiences,' said Mandee Migliaccio, CEO of the New Jersey-based agency Stepping Out Travel Services. 'While they're definitely keeping an eye on the headlines, they typically won't change plans unless a destination really becomes unstable.' Migliaccio acknowledged she has seen some subtle shifts lately, with some clients asking to trim flight costs or deciding to skip a stop to keep things more efficient. 'It's not so much 'I can't go' as it is, 'How can I make this work for me?'' she said. 'People are being strategic, spending where it matters most, and opting for curated experiences over excess.'

English amateur Woad, 21, wins Women's Irish Open

But because Woad is an amateur, she will not receive any prize money, with the 67,500 euro (£58,000) winner's cheque going to Sweden's four-time Solheim Cup player Madelene Sagstrom, who finished second. Woad, the world number one amateur, hit the front in windy conditions on Friday, extended her lead to seven strokes in Saturday's third round and made six birdies and two bogeys on Sunday to cruise home at Carton House. Advertisement The 21-year-old - who broke 70 in all four rounds - becomes the first non-professional to win on the Ladies European Tour since Czech player Jana Melichova at the 2022 Czech Ladies Open. Woad, who won the 2024 Augusta National Women's Amateur title and finished tied 10th in last year's Women's Open, carded just three bogeys all week in a hugely impressive performance in County Kildare. "It felt pretty comfortable overall," said Woad. "There were a few moments at the start of the back nine that could've gone wrong but I hung in there and finished with some nice birdies. Advertisement "As soon as I birdied the second hole, holed a nice 12-footer there, it settled me in. I hit some good shots today, maybe didn't hole as many putts as the other days, but it was pretty stress free in the end." Sagstrom, with a final round of 68, finished second with England's world number 19 Charley Hull (69) in fourth. 'It definitely means a lot' Anna Foster (72) was the leading Irish player in a share of 12th on eight under, while her countrywoman Canice Screene carded a bogey-free seven-under 66 - the joint-lowest round of the day - to finish inside the top 40. Having established a comfortable 54-hole cushion, Woad picked up two birdies in her first four holes on Sunday before dropping a shot at the par-four fifth. Advertisement Surrey's Woad regained that shot with a birdie three at the eighth and picked up another at the 13th. The Florida State University player dropped a shot at the par-five 15th, but bounced back with birdies on her next two holes, a four at the par-five 17th coming after she nearly holed her approach. While Woad nearly produced a grandstand finish by holing a long birdie putt at the last, a par secured a winning score of 271. "It definitely means a lot," added Woad, who will be in major action next week at the Evian Championship in France. "Obviously I had a big lead coming into today, but I was able to focus. I was being chased by some really good players but happy to get it done." England's Hannah Screen hit a 67 to share fifth place, but home favourite Leona Maguire closed with a disappointing 75 to finish in a tie for 48th.
